G7 leaders urged to promote abortion up to birth to advance ‘gender equality’

In order to advance ‘gender equality’, G7 leaders have been told to promote extreme Canada-style abortion laws, which permit abortion up to birth, as well as censor online pro-life content deemed to be ‘misleading’.

The Gender Equality Advisory Council said that removing all legal safeguards and allowing abortion up to birth is recommended good practice. It also adds: “Prohibit misinformation on safe abortion” and “Right to choose and right to have a safe abortion” as ways to advance gender equality.

Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said: “It is not at all clear how promoting extreme abortion legislation (or any abortion legislation for that matter) advances the empowerment of women. As is well-known by now, sex-selective abortion is responsible for 63 million women “missing” women in India alone and likely millions more in across the globe.”

“Ironically the Gender Equality Advisory Council is promoting a practice which has women as its primary victims.”
